How To

Choose the Appropriate Scanning Mode

Changing a scanning mode

EPSON Scan provides three modes for you to change any scanning settings: Home Mode, Office Mode, and Professional Mode.

Home Mode:
The Home Mode enables you to scan images easily without use of complex settings.

Office Mode:
The Office Mode is helpful when you need to use the optional Automatic Document Feeder to scan a large number of documents with the same size. You can scan documents easily and quickly without preview in this mode.

Professional Mode:
In the Professional Mode, there are many options available to give you greater control over scanning. You can sharpen, correct, or enhance your images before scanning them in the Professional Mode.

The following table indicates the suitable mode to use according to the scanning purpose.
